COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONSummerfest is a delightfully refreshing example of a traditional style lager beer. While lighter in body than our ales, Summerfest displays significant hop aroma and a tangy hop bite. The long lagering period adds a smoothness that makes this beer a great summertime treat.

12 oz. bottle served in a shaker- poured a transparent thin yellow color, extremely white thin ring about the glass for a head but with zero lacing, light carbonation. Aroma of a "Euro-lager" (I gotta research the combo of hops again, it just reminds me of a lager made in Europe) and grass. Hits the mouth with a thin body, malt tastes like corn got into the brewing process to me at least, middle holds up well, finish is mildly crisp, but could use a good kick in the nuts.

Sierra Nevada’s Summerfest 2015 Crisp Lager. It pours a bright clear gold with a foamy white head. The aroma is mildly fruity with a cork quality to it and a decent breadiness.
Sharp carbonation on a med-light body with a crisp dry finish. The taste is a bit earthy then biting herbal hops and some flatbread malt sweetness. Refreshing on a hot day, not the best Czech lager I’ve had but they’re near the mark of what the style should be. Decent.

Pours a light amber from a bottle, slight white head made from largish bubbles resulting from a vigorous pour. Aroma of biscuit, some grass. In addition to that, some lemon in the mouth. Good pilsner, I'm usually kind of down on the style.
